| v3 current | 2026-09-23 16:56 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5-5) | Settled the absence_prose flag: removed the About paragraph that listed what research had not established (pre-1994 name, Delaware file number and registered agent, fate after 2010) and replaced it with sourced facts only: EDGAR first records the Glenayre filing name on 9 June 1994 (^sec-sub), and the 2009 10-K (^sec-10k, re-fetched 2026-09-23) still names EDCI Holdings as parent of this company and states EDCI Holdings filed a certificate of dissolution in Delaware in January 2010 after stockholder approval on 7 January 2010. Changed the lede from present-tense ownership ("owns", "has been") to what the filings date ("held", "became on 25 August 2008"), and dropped a site-meta clause ("which is why both have a page here"). Identity, relations, aliases, establishments and References unchanged; no References rows added. The ownership walk is complete: EDCI Holdings carries no_corporate_parent from its 2010 proxy. Research gaps (not on the page): the corporation's name between incorporation in 1987 and June 1994, its Delaware file number and registered agent, and whether or when this subsidiary itself was dissolved after 2010 — no source read covers them. | |
| v2 | 2026-09-19 23:17 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5) | Rebuilt from primary SEC filings and settled both queue reasons. **Flagged (Glenayre):** the page now records that this is the corporation named Glenayre Technologies, Inc. until 10 May 2007 — a `legal` alias with `until: 2007-05-10`, plus `Glenayre Technologies` and `Glenayre` search aliases and a dated `EDCI` search alias for the period it traded under that symbol — and About explains the renaming from the company's own Form 8-K (new ref `sec-8k-name`): a s.253 Delaware merger of Entertainment Distribution Company Merger Sub, Inc. into the registrant for the sole purpose of the name change, the corporation surviving. I did not add a `renamed_from` relation: the role needs a company target, and a Glenayre page would be a second page for this same legal entity, so the rename is carried by the dated legal alias and the About sentence instead. **Duplicate candidate:** they are not one company, and About now says how — EDCI Holdings, Inc. was newly formed in 2008 as this company's own wholly owned subsidiary with no operating history, purely to effect the holding-company reorganisation and its NOL-preserving transfer restrictions (new ref `sec-s4`); on 25 August 2008 the positions reversed and this company became the wholly owned subsidiary, its stock ceasing to trade (new ref `sec-8k-reorg`). The pre-reorganisation direction is stated in About only, since relations point up and company/edci-holdings already carries it as an ended `owned_by` row. The `owned_by company/edci-holdings` row is kept, now dated `from: 2008-08-25` and sourced to that 8-K rather than to the 2009 10-K. **Newly sourced identity** from the company's own last annual report as registrant (new ref `sec-10k2007`): incorporated in Delaware on 21 September 1987 as successor to a corporation organised 7 April 1945 (`founded: 1987-09-21`), EIN 98-0085742 (`register_ids: US-EIN:98-0085742`), commission file number 0-15761, principal executive offices at 825 8th Avenue, 23rd Floor, New York (`registered_address` and a new Establishments office row), and the 97.99 % holding in Entertainment Distribution Company, LLC. The Glenayre lineage is documented from the 10-K and from exhibit 21.1 to the 2009 10-K (new ref `sec-ex21`): the paging business exited from May 2001, Glenayre Messaging assets sold December 2006, and the Glenayre Electronics/Digital Systems/Manufacturing/Singapore/UK and Wireless Access subsidiaries still held under this company at 31 December 2009. **Refs added:** sec-10k2007, sec-8k-name, sec-s4, sec-8k-reorg, sec-ex21 (sec-10k, edcllc and sec-sub kept). Nothing sourced was removed; the old About's registrant-history paragraph is kept and expanded, with the 8-K's effective date of 10 May 2007 reconciled against the 11 May date in the 10-K notes and on EDGAR. `summary` rewritten to lead with the Glenayre name. **Unresolved, stated in the last paragraph of About:** the name carried between incorporation in September 1987 and EDGAR's first Glenayre filing on 9 June 1994; the Delaware file number and registered agent (no Delaware register entry read, no separate SEC filer record); and whether the company still exists after EDCI Holdings' January 2010 certificate of dissolution and last filing of November 2010, so no `dissolved` date is given. A Wikidata search for Glenayre returned nothing, so `wikidata` stays empty. **Filed on the cleanup queue:** company/entertainment-distribution-company, whose About says the disc business was run by "Glenayre Technologies, Inc. — later EDCI Holdings, Inc.", conflating this corporation's 2007 renaming with the separate 2008 holding company. | Diff |
